Abstract (en)
A cable-type tire chain comprises side members (12, 14 or 12 min ) adapted to extend circumferentially around opposite side walls of a tire and cross members (18 or 16 min ) connected between the side members so as to extend over and across the tire tread, the cross members carrying traction means in the form of traction sleeves (20 or 18 min ). A low profile articulated connection is provided between each end of each cross member and one of the side members, the connection comprising one connector element (36 or 28 min ) crimped on the cross member and another connector element (34 or 32 min ) crimped on the side member. One connector element has a head (37 or 30 min ) and the other element has a bent-over tab (48 or 38 min ) and an opening (50 or 40 min ) through which the head is inserted. When the tab is flattened the head is trapped in the other connector element. The connection may allow for movement of a cross member to accommodate changes in profile of a tire. The invention also relates to a specific form of traction sleeve (20) and a construction of cross member using freely rotatable cable sheaths (30, 31, 32).
